That sucks man. i agree he should have got a Prius, because there is no way in hell a Prius could go as fast as that Vette and they probably would still be walking around today. I partially blame the parents for even buying him the car at such a young age. bottom line: Vette=High Speed

That sucks, It just goes to show how kids these days take things for granted... They get a nice fast car, they show off and race, next thing you know they get killed or kill someone else. Just really sad

Yep. Thats a shame. I agree though, a kid in high school should not have a corvette.

It's sad that with the kids doing stupid shit like that, they had to die.

But, this is why you don't give kids horsepower. Especially if it's their first car ...

the greatest single line that ever got me laid was i was driving and a rx7 challenged me and she asked "why dont you race him" i replied with

1. "because you are in the car" and then quickly followed it with

2. "and i dont street race thats how people die."

on a side note when i used to work at wavy 10 since we covered anything that involved death if you saw some of the unaired video ive seen that shit'll make you want to never leave home and never drive again.

Just for the record, I'm pretty sure HE did kill HER. Seriously.

And on another note, how do you not know that that he bought that car? I knew a guy in HS who had a vette and he bought it on his own right before graduation.

Well if he saved up and paid cash for it, maybe. I mean he was in high school and was probably living under his parents roof though. They still shouldn't have allowed a high school kid to have a car like that. I just don't think they are mature enough. I bought mine at 21, if I would have had it in high school I def. wouldn't be around right now. There are too many other factors to deal with, such as peer pressure and of course you are invincible at that age!
